The latest joke from Microsoft: Windows 8.1

[MrRiplEy[H]]

I had Win8 for several months, decided I had enough......formatted my HD and reinstalled Win7. Waste of Money!
I liked the control panel the way it was. Also, the start button is so much easier than dragging your mouse over the top right corner.

Here is a link for the MS financial statement for 2002. Does not look good compared with the past.
Monopolies often get too big and fail.

The free 8.1 update will bring the orb back to the desktop.

Monopolies are never too big to fail (unless the government bails them out, in which case it just takes longer).

When it comes to 4k display resolutions and Nvidia (at least for now) it will require bare minimum Windows 7. Neither flavor of Vista or XP is supported at this point. And even then, not all hardware is supported on Win 7 or 8 at this time. At least this is true for the hardware I have for Win 7 (GTX 600, or 700 series drivers). Not even Titan supports 4k right now, though it's coming eventually.

That's IMO due to the new nature of 4K displays. I meant to suggest that either OS would more than be capable of handling it if they were patched and updated to do so. The effort will not be made, is my contention, simply because MS is forcing people to move to Win8 against their will, and by holding back any and all "good" features from the prior OSs they will try to get more people to move to 8.
